"I Don't Want To Be A 'Tangdi Kabab'!"

Objectification of women, fairness creams, son obsession and more... Priyanka Chopra goes all guns blazing after the ills that plague our society and women in particular. Shubarna Mukerji Shu applauds!

I am well aware that we are a part of a civilization that is one of the oldest in the world. We are a country where, since eons, we have been told that ‘Agar ladka nahi hoga toh vansh aage nahi badhega’. Or worse - if your son doesn’t cremate you ‘aapko jannat nahi milegi!’ These beliefs, though one would be tempted to call them mere ideas, have been ingrained in us for generations - it will take many years, perhaps generations, to change that belief. There are loads of hindrances here, it is not easy to have a blanket philosophy preached in a country like ours where there are so many different kinds of cultures and languages (written and spoken) not to be mistaken with dialects.
